Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pores of Kohn are small openings in the walls between alveoli, which allow for collateral ventilation and the even distribution of air among alveoli. Type I alveolar cells make up the walls of the alveoli, acinus pores refer to the openings of the individual alveoli, and alveolar pores are not a recognized anatomical feature.
